Amazingly, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 protects all wild bird in the UK!
Under the Act, disrupting roosting birds, removing nests, or deploying harmful deterrents constitutes an illegal act. Nevertheless, robust legal options are available to protect your property against pest bird populations.
Delivering specialist avian management within Brooklands, Birmingham Pest Control Co. uses effective deterrent and exclusion systems intended to cause no harm to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Brooklands
Faeces from pest birds commonly carry a wide-ranging selection of disease-causing organisms.
Dehydrated pigeon guano can harbour salmonella, E. coli, and the pathogen that brings about ornithosis, a lung disease contracted via the inhalation of tainted dust or physical contact with infected areas.
Initially, we must acknowledge ornithosis as a major occupational hazard in areas with active bird infestations.
Brooklands operators in food and hospitality encounter stringent regulatory exposure as well as the critical health and safety dangers of guano contamination.
Aside from health risks, guano collects rapidly in gutters, on roofing materials, and around drainage outlets.
Before breeding, avian species often congregate upon architectural projections, parapets, and rooflines, dropping guano that significantly accelerates the deterioration of stonework, clogs drainage gutters, and causes hazardous slipping hazards on the pedestrian footpaths below.
Neglecting avian pests at a Brooklands premises causes worsening structural deterioration, escalating guano accumulation, and remediation installations that become increasingly more expensive over time.
Whichever winged species appears, our bespoke systems guard your premises. Discover true peace of mind. We shield you and your community from health hazards caused by birds.
Pest bird species in Brooklands
Feral pigeons and seagulls inflict the most visible damage on Brooklands’s commercial buildings. Flat rooftops and ledging provide these pests with permanent roosting shelter.
Returning seasonally, starlings penetrate roof voids through gaps far narrower than both requires.
Did you know disturbed dry guano actually creates significant health concerns? It absolutely does, and abandoned nests lure pesky additional infestations! That is the reason our very incredible technicians carefully clear guano and nests before installing any fixings.
Here is a broad selection of the diverse avian species we look after on a daily basis.
Feral pigeons
Wild pigeons often gather in significant clusters in city environments.
Are you aware a pigeon pair can raise up to six broods each year? They grow at a remarkable rate on almost any structure with unoccupied ledges or roof voids!
Because pigeons continuously go back to their established roosting and nesting spots, superficial dispersal measures do not s\ucceed to break this well-established behavioural pattern.
Definitive pigeon management in Brooklands relies upon physical exclusion systems that prevent landing entirely, gently leading these birds to choose other territories to call home.
Seagulls and gulls
Lesser black-backed gulls alongside Herring gulls alongside Herring gulls have effectively established themselves in central territories, to become long-established breeding populations throughout Brooklands and the greater Midlands.
Gathering in thick colonies atop flat roofs, these noisy birds turn highly hostile during their breeding season, a turbulent period extending from April until August.
Did you know gulls are more substantial than pigeons? They need robust post and wire systems or hard-wearing netting instead of the lighter pigeon deterrents!
We customise each gull colony bird control system for the individual site.
To support you best, we adapt our recommendations and your final outcome based on the specific roof category and colony size, rather than offering any generic packages.
Starlings
Starlings regularly represent a seasonal bird issue in the Brooklands area.
Entering roof voids by way of tighter entry points than pigeons would need, they take advantage of open ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and broken fascia boards.
Over the course of a year, starlings roosting within a roof void accumulate large quantities of nesting material and droppings.
Bird control solutions in Brooklands
We provide a wide-ranging suite of avian management techniques, meticulously adapted to the specific bird species, the architectural structure, and the overall severity of the infestation.
We never offer suggestions prior to personally inspecting your premises and the particular problematic population.
Every initial property assessment is fully free of charge, carrying absolutely any requirement for any commitment.
Bird netting
Looking for the best shield against troublesome birds? Bird netting is the most complete exclusion system, protecting roof perimeters, open facades, plant rooms, and building recesses to block nesting and roosting!
We install UV stable polyethylene net with mesh sizes tailored to each species, using 10mm for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Can we secure fixings into brickwork, metal, or timber? Yes, using stainless steel anchor fixings!
Once correctly fitted, netting remains practically unseen from the street below, offering a highly unobtrusive yet highly effective bird solution.
Bird spikes
Installing bird spikes on ledges, roof edges, window ledges, pipework, and signage eliminates landing surfaces.
These work by turning the landing surface very disagreeable rather than putting up a physical barrier to the birds.
As safeguarding valuable historic features and protected buildings, polycarbonate spikes are the perfect choice because their deterrent effect remains largely out of sight.
In industrial or trade settings, stainless steel provides exceptional durability, which makes it the ideal choice when enduring heavy dirt is valued over visual appearance.
We thoroughly analyse your location’s individual requirements first to recommend the most appropriate product.
Bird wire
Bird wire systems secure stainless steel wire between posts to create an unsteady landing surface across raised ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
Offering a highly subtle profile, wire is suitable for prestigious civic and commercial buildings where aesthetics are paramount. It equally preserves delicate heritage architecture where drilling for spike or netting fixings remains wholly inappropriate.
First, wire provides the subtlest solution for commercial and civic properties where appearance is important. Secondly, this choice safeguards historic sites where drilling for spike or netting installations is unacceptable.
Bird free gel
Served in a smart dish, Bird Free gel rests discreetly on any surface requiring defence against unwanted and persistent avian intrusion.
Being positioned at a mere 8mm, what person could ever spot it from the ground? People will completely miss its presence, but your local bird population definitely won’t!
Because most birds see ultraviolet light, this special gel causes the building seem to them as if it were on fire.
In instances of low-level avian presence, we utilise mild discouragement to encourage their departure.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Through gaps in ridge tiles, open soffits, and damaged fascias, starlings and sparrows frequently enter roof spaces.
We secure these entry points using stainless steel mesh or suitable vent covers, selected to fit the specific bird species and opening size.
Undertake all exclusion work beyond the active nesting season to remain compliant with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
